Monitoring and Alarming for Medical Refrigerators and Incubators

Press release date: August 19, 2014

One Accsense Data Logger Monitors and Alarms up to 6 Points!

CHESTERLAND OH—Are you a hospital or clinic director, lab supervisor or nurse technician who needs to ensure the safety of your vaccines, drugs or other valuable supplies? If you need to monitor the temperature in your medical refrigerators or incubators to protect your products and to meet regulatory needs, CAS DataLoggers has the solution with our Accsense Wireless Temperature Datalogger. Protect your valuable healthcare products and meet legal liability with these sophisticated temperature monitoring systems. Now you can get cloud-based monitoring and alarming for up to 6 units with just ONE Accsense data logger!

Monitor Temperature at up to 6 Points!
Our Accsense A1-08 wireless temperature data logger has 6 thermistor inputs to cover up to 6 monitoring points. We can also provide your hospital or clinic with our E1-20 Thermistor Probes made of stainless steel with 10’ cabling and a temperature range of -20°C to 150°C, each of which can monitor a medical refrigerator or incubator.

For example, a common incubator setup in IVF clinics is a room containing 3 rows of 2 incubators stacked atop each other. With an Accsense installation, every incubator has a thermistor probe leading out to the A1-08 data logger which communicates with an Acccsense B1-06 Wireless Data Logger Gateway. The probes are placed inside the incubator with the data logger and gateway mounted on the wall.

Alarms for Temperature Excursions and Open Doors:
The A1-08 wireless datalogger also has two digital inputs which enable you to alarm the open/close state of up to two medical refrigerators. For example if you have a fridge or two that are frequently opened, you can set the logger’s sampling rate to create an alarm that will only alert you if 3 samples in a row show the door is open, or one that triggers after 1 reading shows the door is open. Accsense will even place automated phone calls to multiple designees whenever your product is at risk so you have time to take corrective action.

Additionally, if you need to monitor other parameters such as CO2 and/or O2 levels, we have Accsense models that can monitor any value you need—if you have a sensor for it, just plug it in and Accsense can log it!
